But if BUOITAPA NTS is receiving' reinforcements, - so is the Archdttlte CHARLES- if the French army of Itaiy,has arrived near Vienna to support BUONAPARTE, the Austrian, army of Italy has also arrived near the 'scene of action to co-ope rate with the Archduke CHARLES.' That army, under the command of the Archduke Jowl, BUO.. NAPARTB acknowledges toconsist of 30,000 men, but we have strong reason to believe that it-consi derably exceeds 40,000; It has effected its retreat from . Italy precisely upon the same route that the Archduke CHARLES retreated in 1806. The army of the Archduke VERDIFTAND, too, has been ordered , to return from Poland, and to form a junction with the Archduke Cl'ti►hLEs. Thus reinforced, we trust that that gallant Prince will be.fully preparedto meet' BuoNAeAter*,Whenever he shall again cross the river. In the mean time we think there is strong ground to believe that BUONAPARTE, in his anxiety to obtain re forcements, has ordered LEFEBVRE out of the Tyrol ) before his task was accomplished. We are told indeed in these BUlletins, that the Tyrol is . tranquil ; but a Letter from Augsburgh, dated' the 28th May, only three days before the last Bulletin, states, that the Tyrolese Insurgents, who still occupy Scharnitz, re fuse to surrender. We shall not be surprized to find that the departure of LEFEEVRE from theTyrol, was the signal of a new and genei'al Insurralion of the Inhabitants. It is evidenrfrom the complaints made in the 14th,Bulletin, that BUONAPARTR begins to find himself pressed for provisions, and the great reinforcements' he is receiving will certainly not tend to lessen; that inconvenience. Upon the whole, though we are anxious not to excite expectations which may preye to be, too sanguine, we cannot hut look forward with considerable confidence to the future operations of the campaign, not for, brilliant vietories or uninterrupted success on the part of the Austrians, but for a balanced and protracted Slate of warfare, which will belittle less injurious to Bee. NAPARTE than defeat. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF PEERS. , FRIDAY, JUNE . 16, The LORD CHANCEI.LOR resumed the delivery of Ids opinion on the Roxburgh Case, and after speak ing for onwards of two hours, postponed the remain der till Monday. The Judges Salaries Bill was read a second time, 'and committed for to-morrow. The Seats in Parliament Bill, and the Strand Bridge Bill were read a third time, and passed. Lord Viscount SIDMOUTII adverted to a former or der of the House, for an account of the number of Licences granted to Dissenting Preachers and T ea elieri, and having learnt that the Sicretary of State for the Home Department had no authority to requite a return of that descriptor), he therefore move.l, that the Clell of the Parliaments should tratistnit a copy Of the order. to the ,Clerks of the , reace, in the respeetive Counties of England and Wales. His L rdship Oterwards, in consequence ' of some doubt, privately suggested, withdrew his motion, and gave notice of it. for Monday. Oil the question for 'the third reading of the Irish Catholic. Bill", Lord Redesdale Observed, that the 4,1,1i.t which, was stippo4ed by this Bill to exist, roe. rein% the possession of Freeholds by Roman Ca. deities in Ireland, who had not taken certain oaths, did not in fact exist, and therefore there was no ne cessity for the 88. The Bill might on the other hand tie productive of mischief witlerespeet to pre -I.e.rty t.); that th.scription new in litigation. He there fore moved to postpone the third leading to this day tin et: months. Tee Eorl of HARDWICKII observed, that the doubt had brat Stared to the' Cominittee on the Dcinegal Eketi u. It was big. ly satisfactory, however, to learn troei high am horny, emit there was no grourld for the doubt, and it the Noeleand _Learned Lord would have the goodness to turn his attention fur ther to the point, the question might be entirely set at rest in the next Session. The Bill was ordered to be read a third time this day three months. Adjourned till tomorrow (this day). We made a few observations yesterday upon Sir FRANCIS ilotorres Speech the night before, on the question of Parliamentary Reform, but the sob jet* is so important in its relation to our legislative system, and is so strenuously and so aotivelY brought for Ward . by its advocates, that we feel it to be our duty to say something more on the occasion.—'-the baronet began with assuring the House that ho did not mean at present to offer, for its immediate con. ,sideration, any plan of Reform, but he soon took care ti) inform them, as we before observed, that he had the old scheme of universal suffrage in view, NIM I.S.

We know that there are some persons in this country, 'who but a forinightego would have sneered at us if we had speculated upon the probability of the Austrians de feating the french in a pitched battle, yet now bl nue the Archduke for not having followed up his vimoly with more energy ; in fad; for not having tf,llowed up and destroyed the French army; and it MOM fiii)gular that anise who'could not discover, from the French and' Austrian 'accounts, that the 'Vreech had sustained a defeat, are loud in their cen inile of the Archduke for not following up hiS tory. But the cause of • the inactivity of Arch-, duke is to Its very apparent.

By the battles of the utst . and 22(1 ultimo, ,however, the rapidity of .his . , ttnivements - heye been checked, and the • terror „which his success inspired has been in a great de gree dissipined: but it would have been the utmost rashness in the Archduke to have risqued the int pottant advantages he had gained, by attempt ing to cross the Danube in the face of so power ful and so attive an enemy. It has been said that the Art:hduke ought at least to have followed up hit; fticcess, by taking the Trite dy Pont on the left .If it was the objea of the Archduke to prevent the .enemy from re-crosiiing the Da -ntibe, it would undoubtedly be of great import, erica that he should get possession of the Tile du pont but we know that the Archduke did not viol to prevent the French from passing the river : he alight have done soon the !gib and 90th ult. if lie 4;44 chnsen.

But while professing to offer no definite projea of Reform, 'he proposed to divide the coun try into distrias,.aed to introddoe a parochial kind of eleaive system. Hence, of course, he is desirous to . overthrow entirely the County Representation,. which fortns so distinguished:a feature in the present mode of Ele6tion, the which secures the choice of men :of extensive ' , Property, men who can be little exposed to" the influence of pe cuniary corruption, and who have too great a stake in the country to pndangerit by wild and clan zeroes innovations. It is' not extraordinary that Sir FRANCIS should glect to deride " whimsical specu lations " and " fine-spun webs," in the syitem of Reform, for if his plan could be . carried into effeel, there would be nothing " specurative or fine-spun," but thelowest degree of tumult, and the probability is, fhat none but the most violent and vulgar Dernoeratical charaaers would ultimately constitute the House of Commons, and hence in a, very short period there would besot) end to that well-organized and happily balanced political system which has long rendered us the envy and admiration of every other Stat&.— The Baronet puzzled ,himuself and his auditors by an attempt to ;thew that people were not governed by mixed motives, in . the pursuit of. political otaje44, but it was difficult to discoimr what relation this moral disquisition had to the'subjed in debate, and here he certainly fell into those " whimsical specu lations" and " fine-spun webs," which,he had pre. viously held up to ridic 4 nle. But. the dangers of that plan which the Baronet was suggesting, at the very time when he disclaimed the intention to offer any plan, are so obvious upon the )enst reflection, that it is hardly necessary ‘ to add a word upon the sub. jea. We cannot, however, conclude without ani. Madverting to the change which has talon place in the manner of those who' are the advocates for Re form, or rather innovation.' A short time ago we ,were told of the accursed red-took," and it was vehemently 'asserted, that the only way to promote the national interest; was by " tearing out' all its loaves," which we mittla fa:rly presume to be a total demolition of our established form of Govornment;!" but now we are assured that the 'champions for Reform have nothing but the old Constitotion in view, and that the restoration of that if alone the objea of those political Regenerators, - A short tithe aglitqo the 41 1 4.1.3)1, 1 ,ric4 of the r.:o*Ati." tutien was tteated wi►h a 'freedom that gave alarm:to all the friends of that Constitation, and induced them to turn with abhorrence from Reformers what.eetned to have derived all their political notions fioni.Re volut 'ovary France.

Is it to be sup posed by the dullest observer, that men who Vehe mently declaim against the influence of the Crown. one day, can be really solicitous to maintain its rights and privileges, because they have found it expedient to change their langtiage, and affeet a shew of loyalty and moderation ?—No ! this pretended. regard to the legitimate authority of the Crown, is nothing but a trap for the unwary. It is' a snare to draw in loyal men, who were alarmed at the bare-faced impu dence, anti daring pretensions of Democracy, and to .. induce them to give countenance to a plan of Reform which, instead of being " whimsical spec/du/ions," and " line-spun webs" of theory, would lead to all the confusion,, all the carnage, and all the military despotism which have rendered France the grave of Popuiar. freedom, and the scourge and terror of every state in Europe, but the happy Island which is its only asylum, an asylum founded upon that very Constitution which certain evil spirits are striving to return in ruin.

A brief, but, satisfactory exposition of the debts and credits of the Bank, was made on behalf of the Proprietors, by Mr. Beamish. It was in substance, and its accuracy was vouched L 1 1 )01)1110 very creditable pledge of Mr. Beamish's asiertinn, that the actual engagements of the Bank with the public amounted to tour hundred and torty• seven thousand pounds, and to meet this stun the securities of different descriptions, National Notes, Bonds, Bills, &c.. - in the possession of the Bank, amounted to four Inuldred and twenty thou sand pounds, so that the deficiency to be Made. gn°d in order to equalize the debts and credits was but twenty-seven thousand pounds. For this small b3* lance in so extensive an account, the Proprietors pro duced a statement of real property, disposable to dis: charge the bAtince against them, of teothousatid pounds annual income, e , erfirming thereby t o the public an indisputably safe guarantee, greatly ex-. ceeding what it may be necessary to appropriate to, the ciiicharge of their debt. The Meeting felt per fectly satisfied with the security offered in planatinti,; and it. was resolved, without a disse"t ing voice, that the Bank was luny competent to dis charge its obligations to the public. The feeling which the meeting manifested placed the. Proprietors in the most respectable andlionourvible point of vie«'• There was as much private regard - evinced for them as Gentlemen, as there was confidence expres sed in their integrity and fidality as Bankers ; and' it was in creditable recollet.tion that the liberality of tir e , establishment had averted ruin from many, 'wlw ril the contingencies, and uncertainty sometimes in: separable from istercantile pursuits, had involve ( ' in embarrassment. or perhaps in distress.
